9. MrJc and I both love old cemetaries
and somehow we've taught all 3 daughters to love 'em too. Whenever we go visit my dad's and brother's gravesite we inevitably wander over to the oldes sections. Great pic.

12. very cool.
I've read some of your posts about your travels. Do you regularly take pictures? Fascinating way to see the country. I'm told my grandfather hit the rails for awhile very early in the 20th century.

16. Yes, they are the best
I can't believe what happens when we get old. Hair falls out or turns grey and all the kids say look mom, its Santa.

The pictures were taken in Uxmal and Chichinitzu back oh maybe 15 years ago. Before I got bald and fat. She is still gorgeous though.

18. Sea surge on Hawaii
Edited on Fri Sep-01-06 04:54 PM by Mz Pip
When we were on the Big Island there was a storm that came in from Alaska. The road along the coast in Hilo was closed but we snuck in anyway.

28. He's the king, observing his kingdom!
He was sitting very comfortably, just calmly looking out. We sat right next to him, but he didn't even notice. He was just looking all around. It was really the cutest thing!
